The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) Class 12th Syllabus 2026 provides the complete curriculum, subject combinations and examination scheme for students studying in Higher Secondary Part-II.

The uploaded JKBOSE Class 12th syllabus document applies to students of the UT of Jammu & Kashmir and UT of Ladakh for the relevant academic sessions. It states that the revised subject combinations have been prepared according to the new scheme of studies and have vertical linkage with undergraduate courses offered by universities in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

The document covers the major faculties of:

Science
Commerce
Humanities/Arts
Home Science
Vocational Education

It also contains the detailed syllabi of a large number of individual subjects.

Some subjects have 80 marks theory + 20 marks internal/project work, while others have 70 theory + 10 internal assessment + 20 practical, and some have completely different combinations such as 50 theory + 25 internal + 25 practical or 40 internal + 60 practical.

4. Home Science

Compulsory:

General English
Family Health Care & Prevention
Food Science
Management of Resources

Other subjects are selected according to the prescribed groups.

Important: Internal Assessment vs Project vs Practical

Students should not assume that every mark outside the theory examination is a practical mark.

The uploaded assessment table uses PW for project work in subjects such as History, Economics, Political Science, Mathematics and Business Studies.

For example:

History

80 Theory + 20 Project Work

Physics

70 Theory + 10 Internal Assessment + 20 External Practical

Accountancy

80 Theory + 5 Project/Internal + 15 Practical

Music

50 Theory + 25 Internal + 25 Practical

Typewriting & Shorthand

40 Internal + 60 Practical

Therefore, students should prepare for theory, internal assessment, project work and practical examination separately, depending on their subject.

Important Note on Statutory Marks

The syllabus document also states that a candidate failing one or more subjects by a deficiency of not more than five marks may be deemed to have passed through the provision of statutory marks, subject to the stated conditions.

However, this concession is not available in practical examinations, including internal assessment or external practical examinations.

Students should therefore not depend on statutory marks, particularly for practical/internal components.
